Durham Ginstitute

An absolute gem of a place! What a wonderful treasure trove of gins!
We went on a Gin Tasting experience and we weren't disappointed at all. Lovely friendly staff and very knowledgeable. The gin tasting wasn't strict as to what you could taste - you felt as though you were being guided expertly through different gins whether you liked fruity or classic flavours.
A gorgeous little shop, full of character and the owner is works really hard to give everyone the best tasting experience.
I will definitely go back for another Gin Tasting experience.
The prices for bottles of gin are competitive and decent value - Try the Welsh Marmalade Gin, it's now a firm favourite!

Brilliant fun and fantastic gin tasting session with friends for a hen do! Knowledgeable and friendly lady running the shop

Situated in the heart of Durham near to the half moon pub. This place has hundreds of gins, small shop but well stocked with mostly non supermarket gins. I had several samples as wasn't sure what I wanted and bought two lovely bottles. The staff were great, knowledgeable and very helpful. I will definitely go back again

Loved this place! They were so friendly and helpful and an AMAZING selection on gins, tonics, and extras. We went for a drink after work and the only regret was that we couldn’t stay later! 100% recommend!

Greatest gin range I have every seen, fab knowledge

Very knowledgeable owner that has a real passion for his gins.

An absolutely fabulous place. We tried some absolutely amazing gins and may have bought a bottle or three.
Would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who is having a day out in Durham.
I have found my new favourite gin as a result of today's visit.
Thank you so much!

What a fantastic shop. Such a kind owner who is more than happy to let you sample his wares so you make the correct buying decisions 😊. What a great find. Will definitely be going back next time we're up this way, we'll wirth a visit!
